This is a contributed topic containing a current, annotated content bibliography for
theoretical physics of recently published papers, books and archived preprints in theoretical
physics.
[1] Weinberg, S. 2004, “Quantum Field Theory”., vols. I to III, Cambridge University
Press, Cambridge, UK, 1,800 pages.
[2] Ultracold Quantum Fields (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics) by Henk T.C.
Stoof, Dennis B.M. Dickerscheid and Koos Gubbels., Springer: Berlin, 2009, 481
pages; very recent book on ultracold atomic quantum gases (missing however
topological order theories in condensed matter). “Presently there are many exciting
directions that are being explored with ultracold atomic gases...”, including “color
superconductors”, optical lattices (light standing waves) mimicking ionic lattices,
long-range anisotropic dipole-dipole interactions,supersolid, solid He-4, ultracold
heteronuclear molecules,BEC-BCS crossover and Feschbach resonances.

Aitchison. (A reviewer says: ”The structure of gauge field theories is well described in
an introductory way.” )

”Most complete graduate level particle physics and field theory text. (has solutions
manual)”)

[7] Quantum Gravity., Carlo Rovelli, Published November 2007 (Paperback)
ISBN-13:9780521715966: presents the loop gravity and spinfoam approach to quantum
gravity, for both graduate students and researchers. “The book of Carlo Rovelli
provides the basis, both at the technical and the conceptual level, for research in
this fundamental problem of physics. The basic issues are clearly and deeply analyzed
without any dogmatic stand and with great freedom of thoughts resulting in an
invaluable opportunity to learn and think for both mathematicians and physicists.” a
quote from Alain Connes, Professor at the Collège de France, I.H.E.S. and Vanderbilt
University.
[8] “Modern Canonical Quantum General Relativity” by Thomas Thiemann
(Canonical quantisation and loop quantum gravity theory for graduate students of
quantum field theory.), Published September 2007, ISBN-13:9780521842631. “...the
most complete account to date of the Hamiltonian approach to the quantization of
General Relativity...If the exciting possibility of links... between words of the very
small and the very large are realized, then theorists will have to delve much deeper
into the structure of quantum gravity than hitherto. This book is a magnificent
and comprehensive introduction to one possible avenue. It has no rival.” in The
Observatory.

fully self-contained introduction to geometric algebra by two leading experts in the
field.”), Published November 2007 ( Paperback ) ISBN-13:9780521715959.

Aitchison., (The first textbook to provide a simple, practical introduction
to supersymmetry for graduates and researchers)., Published September 2007,
